Maggief...it almost sounds as if Jossy is the primary source for the story as reported by Crier and Scarborough about girls being raped by Jurine. Is there another more substantive source than Jossy? What is your take on this new information?

Did the landfill witness take a lie detector test and fail it? Have you heard this?

[Froufrou]

Pinky sez "narf!"

[Froufrou]

Yes, I saw it first thing here this morning. Guess you can't blame a bum for taking a stab at a cool quarter mil.

Chris Lejuez? & David Kock (Satish’s attorneys?)

Chris Lejuez is the brother of the new atty just hired by BHT, Mary Lejuez -- just saw him last night say that she's his sister, think it was on Greta.

Wow...all that money spent on the landfill searches wasted. People got sick adn poor Dave Holloway digging through trash to llok for his child?!? Man, that s@#$s.

Is there anyone in Aruba that can be trusted to tell the truth?

[theophilusscribe]

I think so, Lizarde, but I did not see him myself.

[b9]

too pooped to google

Perfect tagline.

[truthluva]

and the bigger question...Will TL ever learn to use the spellcheck feature?

[truthluva]

I saw where Tito showed up at SM and asked if she "deserved it". Hmmm...wonder where the publicity/reporting about this case is going from here?

[theophilusscribe]

I believe that Van Zandt said that more women were going to come forward as well, and he indicated that they are "international." I guess that means not just Arubans and Americans (but that is only my conjecture).

[Froufrou]

[curtsy] ;o)

[theophilusscribe]

Well, he has already intimated that he is a mouthpiece for PVDS (http://www.riehlworldview.com/carnivorous_conservative/2005/08/van_der_sloot_f.html). I almost expect stuff like that from him . . .

I am starting to think [danger! warning!] the boys and/or men participating in this actually don't see the harm, or at least they didn't until [whatever] happened to Natalee.

The guilt on PVDS' face is, IMHO, particularly telling. It's the face of a man who has taught his son no respect toward the softer sex. He sees now the potential cost for this 'harmless' fun.

They may actually have been thinking no harm, no foul. Maybe Deepak came to town and showed PVDS and JVDS both a little fun, with no harm, no foul.

[throwing this in for icing on the cake] What if Renfro is a madame?

[texasbluebell]

Thanks for that.

The brother was being grilled by Greta last night, she was trying to get a little out of him about his sister's practice, but he kept saying they have 2 separate law firms, not connected at all, so he doesn't know anything about her practice.

[theophilusscribe]

Well, that is interesting. I guess it would have to be that way, or they would face a potential conflict of interest since he represented one of the security guards.

This is C. Helen Lejuez:

[theophilusscribe]

You need to write crime thriller novels! :o)

It was a dark and stromy night...
